Corsa's to loud!
Corsa's to loud! My current exhaust setup is to loud IMO for DD so I'm looking to change it up a little bit. The current setup is Hooker LT's, TSP catted y and a Corsa cat back. I went from no cats to cats and its still to loud. The rasp is gone and I'm happy about that but now I want it a little more quiet. Basically I was thinking of having a bullet muffler welded in the I pipe or swapping out the muffler for a Magnaflow. Will the Magnaflow be a direct bolt in or will the I pipe need to be modified to make it work? Has anyone ever done either of these?
i would not cut up that Corsa. if its to loud sell it and buy a different cat back. im not sure if the magnaflow has a direct replacement muffler but that would be better than cutting the Corsa up. see if you can find some measurements for both of them.
I just went through this. I ended up buying a powerstick chambered muffler (20" I think) I have long tubes through a Borla. Got it welded in just after the merge into the I pipe. Significantly quieter and improved sound as well. Nice thing with the Borla now I can still make it loud when I want too.
I have a Corsa as well.
Dynatechs, Matted to their Catted Y and the Corsa. It sounds killer. Can be a little loud in the morning. I more worry bout the neighbors.
I would consider selling it out right and then re buying another exhaust.

my setup was "too loud" also. i originally had LT's, ORY, and magnaflow. it was too loud and i didn't want the extra attention especially considering where i live. so i installed a SLP dual-dual muffler(stock on SS with cme i believe) and now you can't even tell i have LT's or a cam 
i agree with everyone else don't cut up the corsa! if you look up username norcalls1 on youtube there should be 2 videos on there with track passes with the setup i'm talking about and you can hear that it's pretty quiet. also a video on there with the cutout open. the difference is night and day! hope this helps.

The exhaust was on the car when I bought it so I have no Idea how old it is. Just out of curiosity I checked with Corsa and they want around $350 for a replacement muffler. A Magnaflow is about $100 but the outlets are only 2.5in so I would lose my pro series tips.

Magnaflow is not crappy quality,its a crap fit,corsa sounds great,I like magnaflow also,I would try a bullet in the I pipe first,but do not cut it up,you can get a good buck if you sell it,cut it up its not worth anything
I went out to have a look at the exhaust system and noticed that the I pipe is welded to the Y pipe and there is a dent in the muffler. I guess I will have to shell out the cash for the replacement muffler and cross my fingers.

Guess you haven't been paying attention to any of the Magnaflow quality control threads then...
